Thank you for staying with us. We are so happy that you enjoyed the convenience of the hotel’s location. We look forward to having you stay with us again.

I stay here often when in Johannesburg for business. Service is good but more important is the position with excellent access to very good public transport. Breakfast is very good, for dinner I would recommend using one of the many restaurants at the airport .

Very average airport hotel and there are better options in the same location. Bathroom was dirty with broken towel rack and shower door. Room door didn't close properly without leaning on it. Fellow travellers had someone enter their room in the middle of the night as reception had given them the wrong keys. Food was very average. Staff were rude...

Thank you for staying with us. We would like to apologise for the state of your bathroom which was definitely below our high standards of service and cleanliness. We’re also disappointed that you did not think much of our food offering. We will look into these matters, as well as your comments about slow and rude staff.

CityLodge is an absolute lifesaver of a hotel at the OR Tambo airport. Having travelling for over 24 hours, it was exactly what I needed. Beautiful lobby and rooms, pool, gym, free wifi (that is very fast!), restaurant, delicious buffet breakfast. I will only every stay here when passing through Johannesburg, and cannot recommend it more.

If you need to overnight for a flight, the City Lodge OR Tambo is ideal: Not even 500m from the terminals, you have a quick walk, in-house restaurant and coffee-stop as well as quick access to all shops and restaurants at the airport building. Affordable. Rooms are clean and exactly what you need for a stay-over!

We visited the city lodge the day before our flight. The facilities are clean and rooms were tidy. The staff was friendly. The food was also very nice at the restaurant. Would recommend this to anyone traveling on business.

Once you find this economical hotel it is a welcome break from a long flight. You don't have to go outside to find it but it's not very well sign posted. The trick is to catch the elevator up one level when you come out of arrivals. I then got confused and was helped by a lovely woman at an...

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo Airport is a very convenient but still affordable hotel for those who need a one night stay at the airport, either because of late arrival (KLM, Emirates) or because of early departure (flights to Namibia, Botswana, Hoedspruit). The rooms are spacious, tea and coffee facilities. One can sit outside in a patio if weather...

Typical airport hotel with guests arriving and departing all the time. Walking distance from arrival terminal and close to car rental companies. Still quite a walk with luggage. Slow checkin late night. Restaurant closed relatively early in particular when arriving late night. Rooms/ beds OK. Good for travelers arriving late and having a connecting flight early morning. Otherwise would prefer...
